SENECA PERCH?

[seasquirrel]

Anybody know if any launches on Seneca are bubbled? I can't imagine any launch could be open without being bubbled. Weather is supposed to warm up. I would love to get out for some perch.

Seneca doesn't freeze over ...

I realize the main lake body doesnt freeze. But the marinas and launches dont freeze???

thought i put a post somewhere bout that,,, so end there is a single ramp. at the marina where capt. bills boat is pretty close (200ft) east of big pier in town Watkins.. very good ramp 4.00 fee honor system kinda shallow in winter but never had prob. with my22ft with 2wheel drive van to pull it out .marina does freeze with so wind and 5 degree nights.. ive busted through 2" ice but go slow as lateral strength is dangerous to hull,gotta drive up on it and break down ya gotta be real die hard to do this. typical pearch spots west side first docks from so end to last docks before cove of salt plant..2nd wk of jan i found large bait pods 150 to195 ft over 200 ft water. might be worth your time to troll some brown ,and landlock spoons.in same area of pearch but in 35 to 80 ft water 5 to15 ft down..........bout 15 mi up west side rt 14 is servern point small wood sign is easy to miss so keep eye towards lake side of road, if ya get to rainbow cove sign ya went to far if your comming from south end turn back 1/2 milish ,double ramp on lake usually open in cold weather i always have 10lb bag of ice (duhhhhh salt)just in case you ant the first there and the guy before ya brings a little water on the ramp pulling out trailer. go straight out for 200ish feet carefully kinda shallow up that way near shore go south little way to 3/4 mile might find perch or go north bout 1\2 mi near rainbow cove water should be cold onuf to bring em into 15to 30 ft water so i hear i ant never targeted them but if ya get into sum id be willing to give it a shot.. oh mousee grubs have been brought up by a couple guys who perch fish.elbow room is a must so i hear :shock: Ray K. 769-7947 if ya cant figure out where these launches are .

Thanks Ray. I am familiar with all the areas mentioned. I will post any info if I am able to get out soon. I will try Severne more than likely. I bet it is the best bet to get to open water. Thanks again.

Bob, You probably can't make what he's been drinking. You, however can have fun trying. Good luck trying!!!!
